Staff Impressions: Alaska's Inside Passage with Naturalist Kim Nesbitt
Southeast Alaska’s dynamic waterways support marine life at every scale, from the humpback whales that frequent Frederick Sound to the tiny creatures inhabiting the region’s tide pools. Juneau-based Naturalist and Undersea Specialist Kim Nesbitt reveals what guests might otherwise miss, adding depth to encounters with megafauna while drawing attention to the smaller wonders along the shore. “It makes me really happy to see someone get excited about a sea star or a nudibranch,” she says. In this episode of Staff Impressions, Nesbitt shares the joy of exploring her home waters with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions travelers—and how seeing Alaska through a naturalist’s eyes can inspire you to look at nature differently long after your journey ends.
